The Sasquatch Genome Project this week presented videos that members say prove the existence of Bigfoot, but some members of the scientific community remain skeptical.

Is this the face of Bigfoot? The Sasquatch Genome Project thinks it is.KTNV screen capture

At a news conference Tuesday in Dallas, the research group played clips purportedly showing several of the creatures, wdrb.com reported. One was of a juvenile walking through woods. The second was of an older female believed to be at least 6 feet tall. A third, shot during the day, caught a Sasquatch napping at an undisclosed location in Kentucky.

KTNV in Las Vegas showed the clips in this report:

Adrian Erickson, leader of a similar research effort called the Erickson Project, and entrepreneur Wally Hersom have bankrolled the Sasquatch Genome Project, according to ABCNews.com. Erickson provided the clips screened by the Sasquatch Genome Project.

Dr. Melba Ketchum, a veterinarian who leads the Sasquatch Genome Project, has been conducting a $500,000 analysis of DNA samples from an unknown species from the hominin line, which includes humans, chimpanzees and bonobos. The study concludes that Sasquatch is a human relative that arose about 13,000 years ago.

"They're more whatever they are with a little bit of human . . . I mean they're a type of person but they're not the same as you and I. They have something else crossed with them."

Ketchum said she had doubted whether Sasquatch existed until she saw five of them in North Texas.

But doubts about the findings remain.

While the Sasquatch Genome Project claimed in a February report to have submitted 113 samples of hair, blood, saliva and other tissues to laboratories including University of Texas Southwestern, the North Louisiana Crime Lab and New York University, NYU officials told the New York Daily News that they never accepted samples.

Todd R. Disotell, a professor at the Department of Anthropology at NYU, told ABCNews.com that Ketchum's research was "just a joke."

"This was not reported in any scientific way whatsoever. It's complete junk science, and then she misinterprets it. She hasn't published in peer-reviewed papers on this stuff. I don't know how this got put together."
